The next task of the United States is to provide a safe and adequate currency for the country. For Canada, that problem has been solved in what appears to be a practical way. By your system banking facilities can be furnished, through what appears to be a. pr'ac- tical way. By your system banking facilities can be furnished through ibrauch offices, as they have been to all the communities of commercial importance. N Profit By Neighbor‘s Blunders. "Tho bankers of Canada, are in ia position to anticipate and fore- stall many of the most serious blunders that have marked the agricultural development of the United States. It is not too late to prevent the robbing of the soil, the exhaustion of fertility still un- impaired in your more recently settled districts. It is not so large ,“On two main lines the bankers of the two countries may well take Lr?unsel and learn from each other. "A century hat written in the ,United States a, record never before equalled.' It has meant very much to our neighbors of the north. If Canada, is now, in regard to the population, about v. here the Tnited States was in 1813, in all other respects she stands about where the, United States did sixty years ago. The apparatus for her development is substantially com- [ pleteha-nd the process is going tor- F Ward fit a startling pace. JUCommercial Relations Close. “In 'spite pf all obstructions, the commercial relations between Can- ada and the United States have grown to such proportions that as- ,‘jtonish even those familiar with the "iMieial figures. According to the report of the United States Consul in this city, the foreign trade of Canada reached a total of over a billion dollars for the calendar year 1912. The increase over 1911 waSi 13.5 per cent. ,Of the total 56 per bent. was business done with the United States. For the same cal-i 1rndar year the ‘balance of trade for l the whole United States was $581,- 000,000; and of this, 82y5,000,000 was due to our commerce with Canada. It supplied forty-four per cent. of the balance rolled up by our com- lmerce with the whole world. Canada Second Best Customer. “It is usual to speak and think of Europe as the best customer of the United States; and insofar as this refers to the United Kingdom, it is true. But the Dominion of Canada is far and away the second best customer that we have. The statistics have been brought down to cover the first ten months of the current fiscal year, which began on July 1 last. During that time our exports to the United Kingdom were $524,000,000; to Germany, $291,000,000; to France, 8131,000,- 000; to Canada, $338,000,000, and to all Europe combined $1,294,- 000,000. No other country except Great Britain and Germany even approaches Canada, as a buyer in the markets of the United States. Ber purchases were a seventh greater than those of Germany. I They were 26 per cent. of those made up by the whole of Europe combined. Nor is this trade a one- . sided affair. It looks impressive T when considered as a whole. Of , the total exports from Canada in 1912 the United States bought over 38 per cent. Almost all the mineral exports of Canada go to the latter _ country; most of its forest products and manufactures, and a. third of the yield of its fisheries. This com- - merce in both directions is destined 3 to grow even more rapidly in the i next few years, owing to impending 5 changes in the tariff regulations of ( the United States, than it has at i any time during the last forty to l. fifty years. 1 "Capital is the most. cosinopoli- tan force in the world. From the beginnings of human intercourse it has broken down more barriers, »cemented more bonds than all the armies and navies of the world. Capital to-day furnishes the sinews vof war. For none can long be car- ried on anywhere, as a rule, none wouldever be begun, if the great bankers of the world should agree in refusing to finance it. Arbiters of peace and agents of material de- velopment everywhere, it is most appropriate that they should be beerd here and ba-day. A despatch from Ottawa, says: “Some victories of peace" was the keynote of the address of Mr. J. J. Hill, the noted American railway magnate, in responding to the toast of "Our Guests" at the banquet of the New York State Bankers' Asso- ciation held here on Thursday. Mr. Hill, after eloquent reference to the hundred years of peace, pre- dicting that there would never again be war between English- seeking nations, said in part: Relations Are Very Close And Destined to Grow _ More Rapidly Still, Says J.

A despatch from Ottawa, says: A report received on Wednesday at the railway department indicates substantial progress on the Hudson Bay Railway. On twenty miles the grading has been completed and temporary rails are being laid. This will facilitate greatly the for-. warding of supplies. The bridge over the Saskatchewan at Le Pas has just been completed at a cost of $300,000 and is one of the big fea- tures of the undertaking. By Fall rails will be down permanent- ly on half the line. During the Summer the work will be rushed on the Hudson Bay terminals. I "Ian Arrested, Said to Have Been l Refused Payment of Bill. A despabch from Montreal says:' David Lessor, proprietor of a Notre Dame Street cafe, was shot down in his home on Sunday in the pre- sence of his wife and four children. Samuel Rednor, a painter, is in the police cells charged with the shoot- ing. Lessor has two bullet wounds in the abdomen, and his condition is critical. Rednor is said to have been refused payment for $80 al- leged to be due him for work per- formed for Lessor. Rednor fought his captors, and considerable diffi- culty was experienced in effecting his arrest. Sir George has had some amusing electiirneer%g experiences. One night he was addressing a some- what hostile audience when a, voice cried out: "Oh, what a lovely liar!” The following night as he was addressing another meeting a note was handed up to him which read: "Dear sir, you will be glad to hear that the man who called you a lovely liar last night has got a lovely pair of black eyes." cisign on the first opportunity in favqr of Sir Forge Doughty. l Sir George Doughty began life as a. joiner’s apprentice, and when a young man he embarked on Specu- lative building, meeting with great success and laying the foundations of his fortune. _ He did not take up politics until he reached middle- age, but this proved nothandicap, for he has a natural aptitude for public speaking. Endowed with a powerful voice and a, vigorous per- sonality, he is extremely popular with the fishermen of Grimsby. Moreover, the Conservatives have found him a valuable asset at elec, tion times, for he has a breezy, cheery method of addressing audi- ences, which is very valuable for securing votes.

The Dominion Government, I believe, has shown its appreciation of the importance and value of this work by an ap- propi‘iation of ten million dollars, to be spent in and by the various provinces within the next ten years. This is wisely done, but you should take care that these funds are not frittered away on ex- bensive buildings or large peWmb- nent educational staffs, but devoted to practical instruction to the far- mer in modern farm methods with his own hands on his own land."

A despatch from Ottawa says: The amount which the Province of Ontario will get from the Dominion Government under the Agricultural Aid Act has been fixed at $175,733. Of this $40,000 will go for the eree- tion of a, field husbandry building at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege; $22,500 for district represen- tatives in agricultural work; $10,- 000 for poultry work and $9,000 for fruit work.

The woman, whose age was 60, had been alone all morning. Relatives are at a loss to account for the reason of her committing suicide. Rains General in West the Past Twenty-Four Hours. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Reports on Tuesday night from all parts of Saskatchewan and Mani- toba, show a, crop condition that is declared by members of the Grain Exchange and the Grain, Growers' Association to be indicative of the best crop that the West has pro- duced for years. Rains during the past 24 hours have been very gen- eral in. the West. Rains have been intermittent since, the seeding was completed, but, by no means so gen- eral as during the past day and nights, Wheat in many places is twelve inches high and looking fme. Specials received from over 200 places in, the two provinces on Tuesday night, indicate most, favor- able conditions. It is thought the fine crop prospects will have an immediate influence upon financial conditions throughout the West. DOOR OF BANK VAULT FELL. FINDS HIS WIFE HANGING. BRILLIANT FUN CTION.
